“Easily accessible as it is located on the main road of this quaint little town.” (LexLady2014)

“If this is the ONLY available lodging late one winter night and you must spend the night in Mountain City due to dangerous weather, ask at least for a room at the back of the property, far away from the highway.” (merrybrook)

Stayed here with my husband during a weekend getaway. The room was comfortable and clean and the town very peaceful. The owners were very nice and helpful. Much better than staying in crowded and noisy Boone but yet close enough to drive. Will definitely come back to this beautiful town.

This place has seen much, much better times in years gone by (shown in the property picture). It would be so nice to have (1) soap, (2) shampoo/conditioner, or even just a (3) cup! Being nearly the only non-B&B lodging in town and the only one accessible on the main US route through town, it is a shame that it...

Stayed at the Mountain Empire Motel for one night last weekend of March ~ very pleased with the way we were treated at check-in. Rate was lower than expected, and value for the room was excellent. Front desk agent did everything we asked, including our pick of what section we would stay in, and we got a nice peaceful, quiet,...

Our room is freezing and there is no thermostat; the toilet barely flushes and the internet is extremely slow. There are pine needles in the nightstand, as well as old receipts. There is also dirt, dust and pubic hair all over the bathroom door. The stairs outside of our room are out of order and the creatures outside are extremely...

The website looked good so we gave it a try. A young lady at the desk was very friendly but she was the only possitive about this motel. It was run down, several rooms were "out of service", the pool had a winter cover and out of service for the season (in June), no continental breakfast and the room was...
